Witnessing to others

[ray]

What tactics do you use in witnessing Christ to others?

Do approach as friend or foe?

Do greet the sinner with a gentle heart of understanding or do you shout it down their throats?

Why would any one listen to someone who wants to witness about christ when they come off as I'm not a sinner just you lets fix you because there is nothing wrong with me?

Or do you debate like in many of these threads and just seem to confuse the lost even more. Why not just share in truth what you know state it and move on?

There are many other tactics that get used which do you use or try most often?

Oddly enough, most of the people I witness to are the contankerous crusty types that don't like getting close to people. I havent seen to many conversions but I did make one guy cry.

It blew my mind. This guy is a Drinking , smoking, fighting coke using kind of guy. All I did was tell him he was too good for that kind of stuff and he should get his sh_t together.

We were in a bar and he stood there and started to cry. He told me I was the only person that ever made him do that.

I would say the best approach is to meet them on their turf and tell it like it is.

I have tried many but most have failed whilst others have had short life spans.

I think that the best way is to led the Spirit of God lead, that way all the Glory will be Gods and the person will indeed be saved.

Greetings Ray,

I don't use "tactics". I ask God each day to reveal His glory in my life and to let His "light" shine. When God sends someone into my life, I pray I am prepared to give an answer for the hope that persons sees in me. I do not hide the fact I am a Christian. I perceive everything as it relates to God and His Kingdom. I do not force myself on others or try to convince them of anything. If I am prodded by the Holy Spirit to say something, I try to listen carefully and then give what He has given me. Fortunately for me, I am old enough now to have had a wide range of experiences and can relate to most people on their level without myself getting entangled in their problems.

I see too many people who think there is a quick fix for that which is broken (a sinner), and it is not as simple as that in most cases. Sometimes, it is just being there for them. To listen to them and let them solicite answers from me. It is never our job to "save anyone", but it is our job just to be there and be a good witness when called upon.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Well one thing for sure you have to get out from behind the computer to do anything

A lot of witnessing can be done on the computer. I know of many people who were led to the Lord via a board or chatroom.
